Code - I gave up my streak last week after 14 days. On the 14th day, my legs felt like lead and I was a bit lethargic. On an effort level, I was running 9:10, but in reality, I was running about 9:50. A rest day was what I needed. I now have a greater respect for rest days.

Tom, total respect to you for your streak! That's so awesome. Mine, on the other hand deserves less respect. It was 8 days of NO running LOL. My mind and body enjoyed the break though.

The Hudson plan. I am going to order the book from Amazon, although Santa does know I want it.

Cool stuff. I'll be doing the Hudson 10K starting the end of January. I still need to read the book though.

Tom - Congrats on the streak. I'm currently on day 19. I hear you on the value of those rest days. I think I'm starting to build up some fatigue. I'll take a day off if I absolutely need to, but I'm going to try to stick it out for the rest of the month. It's sometimes more mentally draining. The alarm clock went off this morning and I was like, "Whaa? It's time to run again?"

Double-duty today:

AM - 3.4 @ 9:11

PM - 7.2 @ 8:28 w/ 6 strides

I looked at the clock, it was after 9:00...and I just didn't feel like running. It had to happen sooner or later. /streak

Hi, guys. I've had quite a day here. I got home at 2pm and found one of my cats was missing. We spent hours looking and then one hour ago my other cat escaped while I was leaving food and water for Sammy (the missing cat). He went straight to where Sammy was hiding and we got her home. Success!

Sorry you broke the streak but that's one of the reasons why I don't do one. I have too much stuff going on in life and I sometimes want the freedom to say fuck it, I'm not running. Are you starting one tomorrow?
